My prediction (and I’d love to be wrong, of course)- we’ll sell Szmodics and won’t buy anyone anywhere near the same quality, or enough in the areas that we need.

celtic interested in sammie,better off up there than playing for bloody luton,where he`ll most likely end up back in the championship,bang on with his replacement,either be a loan or a bargain basement purchase from god knows where

broughton in the telegraph today,giving it the old spiel about the summer transfer window,give credit to the cupid stunt,he talks a good game,if he could do his job as well as he addresses the media he would be half useful,the comments section completely of the scale in the ludicrous stakes,they are obviously telegraph staff members writing uber positive spin about the club,probably on the order of swag/pasha

Perhaps Karamoko Dembele might finally be a serious consideration after being linked with him last summer. A solid 11 assists and would offer some genuine pace out wide that we've been lacking. 

looks a lively player though you have to question why celtic let him go after only 8 games,he did **** all in the french 2nd division either ,id`e be looking to pick josh bowler up,either on loan or fee,he`s not going to make it at forest and they could be clearing their fringe players this summer

Talk about planning for next year is illogical - we simply don't know where we'll stand until late August and the resolution of that court case.  It's just about getting over the line imo. 

This season has been a disaster - we've sold our crown jewel, we've run off our competent ambitious manager and we still don't know whether the owners can put a penny into the club to keep us running. 

Survive then take a deep breath and brace ourselves for more horrendous news coming out of Ewood / Pune is my advice. 

venkys continue to "fund" the club,that is horrendously,tragic news

venkys withdraw their support and "investment",that is paaarrtttyyyyyyyyy time

in words of few syllables,we be f*****d,no reason at all to think venkys will do anything different,we sold rhodes,gestede and cairney and gave nothing to the manager,ditto with armstrong and now the same with wharton,abandon all hope ye who enter ewood park

I don’t know why teams don’t play like that. What use is Dolan defending a corner ? Get him on the half way line.

him and szmodics are more a hinderence when it comes to defending put one of them on the half way line and the other in midfield

I don't get the people bemoaning them getting a 7k allocation. Yes Waggott is a cock regardless but a full Darwen end hasn't done too much harm this season, Newcastle arguably our best home performance? A full Elland Road didn't seem to give them much of an edge at weekend either. Just seems like another reason to moan.

more the fact he gave wednesday the whole stand then made it more difficult for the home fans to get a ticket,the prices are a farce as well for a crucial game,i don`t think he likes rovers fans at all

at a very minimum we need a centre forward,midfielder,goalkeeper and left sided midfielder and thats just treading water to survive

Wharton getting huge praise on sky. What an absolute crock we only got 18 million for him

in venkys list of crimes,this one is near the top,another season with us and we could have got another 10 million for him plus we could have sold him to one of the big clubs not  to crystal palace ffs

watching the west ham game.the hammers are mirrored in moyes personality,a dull man playing dull football with dull tactics

For England it's good we are producing number 6's now. Wharton and mainoo are both naturals in that position also there's alex scott

southgate won`t pick him,he`s to cavalier in his passing for gareth,who would rather have a henderson/phillips type,ward prowse,who is an absolute class act can`t get a sniff,so adam is well down the list

I don't see why we need 2 centre midfielders when you got JRC, Tronstad, Buckley, Travis and maybe Garrett. 

 

 

jrc is injury prone

tronstadt is great(providing we don`t sell him in the summer)

buckley goes awol to often

travis is ****

garret is raw and picks up yellow cards as a hobby

beware the illogical algorithm of football i.e beating leeds away then losing to sheff wed at home,they`ll be desperate and will be willing to do anything for 3 points,keep the ball,tire them out and hit em with a goal

I don't buy the hoodwinked malarkey me. Surely if whoever signed up they did due diligence on how these parasites have worked for over 14 years and then signed with open eyes. 

How stupid and naiive they are if they believed anything put out of a venkyrat mouth .

jdt was obviously told a porkie.he would`nt have come near the place without all the false promises of healthy budgets,i suspect it`s the same with eustace,only that he is`nt as outspoken as jdt and will just keep plodding on like mowbray,perfect for swag and the indians,i`ll be amazed if he gets any substancial transfer cash

I wouldn’t be surprised to see McFadzean take up some sort of behind the scenes role with Eustace. I noticed at the Southampton game that at half time he spoke to every one of the 11 on field players as they came off. I would assume that he is adopting some sort of role already, whether official or unofficial.

that would`nt be a bad move,he seems a driven and charismatic fellow

If the club retains either Fleck or Fadz ot just underlines the sheer lack of ambition, even though Fadz has come in and done a job for us.

But, we all know there is no ambition here, so just expect more cost cutting, sales with no reinvestment, cheap loans, promotion of youth, free transfers and a general downgrade of the playing squad.

harry leonard will be leading the line next season,i can`t see any other outcome other than the sell off of our remaining players of any value,coupled with broughton in charge of recruitment it`s a grim future,id`e be pleasantly surprised if any of the wharton and raya money reach eustace

You know what will happen in the summer. Pray that Broughton or whoever can find the new SS/BB/AA.

there is optimism and then completely blind faith😁,hopefully eustace brings in his own recruitment team and broughton,kimberley and the rest of the useless bunch get fired

pne with another season of midtableness,they are the songs of praise of the football world

off topic but just noticed connor mahoney has scored for gillingham,messed up his career that lad,should be playing at a much higher level with his ability not turning out in the bottom division

To be fair to Leeds they did a good deed today.

They went into Leeds city centre, found 2 down and outs bin dipping and gave them an afternoon out at the football.

They didn't have time to arrange a shave and clean up but its the thought that counts.

 

swag to the indian bloke "that small fellow up front for those in the blue and white should fetch some money in the summer,same as the big lad at the back,thankfully iv`e got a puppet managing the team so he won`t complain,not like the other fellow,what a nightmare he was, i got him a new coach and all he did was slag me off"

Just now, roverblue said:

Unbelievable, glad I didn’t watch as guarantee we lose if I did.

Fair play they needed to show up after midweek. Gives us a chance of staying up.

glad i did`nt go fishing now😆

I said it at the start and I’ll say it again, Eustace is a very good manager and I can’t wait to see his team in August. To come back from a 5-0 hammering and then beat Leeds at Elland Road, whilst keeping a CS, amazing!

lets hope the sides below us lose today and then there will be less pressure next week!

he is`nt,he`s a yes man employed by swag to keep silent and keep us winning a few games every so often,his team in august will be worse than now,cos there will be no one left of any quality,sorry to appear downbeat,but thats rovers in the swag/venky era,completely bereft of any ambition

imagine where we could be if we had people running the club who cared and invested,especially after last season,we only needed 3 quality additions and we`de have been up there in the top six
